Great post!

Not far-fetched either.....

A few years back, before the Islamics went to flight schools, a Muslim skyjacker took over a jetliner and tried to force the pilots to fly it into the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

I do not have the details on how they got him down, but it's out there and you probably know more about than I do.

Someone should dig up that old story and make a FR thread up with Reuters pix and Paris newspapers crying in their wine and cheese.

"let the democrats fly on those French planes"

Now that's a plan I can get behind. Let them all go over there, one way tickets preferably.

EU Parliament Member: Intifada is European Proxy War Against America
21:22 Dec 23, '03 / 28 Kislev 5764

EU Member of Parliament Ilka Schroeder delivered an address entitled, “The European Union, Israel, and Palestinian Terrorism” at the Center for German Studies of Ben Gurion University on Monday.

“The Europeans,” explained MP Schroeder, “supported the Palestinian Authority with the aim of becoming its main sponsor, and through this challenge the U.S. and present themselves as the future global power. Therefore, the Al-Aksa Intifada should be understood as a proxy war between Europe and the United States.”

"It is an open secret within the European Parliament that EU aid to the Palestinian Authority has not been spent correctly," MP Schroeder said during a recent address in New York. “The European Parliament does not intend to verify whether European taxpayers' money could have been used to finance anti-Semitic murderous attacks. Unfortunately, this fits well with European policy in this area."

MP Schroeder, a twenty five year old member of the German Green Party, began her political career protesting the war in Kosovo and denouncing globalization. A year ago MP Schroeder set her sights on an issue long avoided by members of the radical Left - the diverting of some of the 250 million in annual aid for the Arabs of Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza) to corrupt officials and terrorist groups bent on Israel's destruction.

MP Schroeder managed to initiate an inquiry by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) into the issue despite significant pressure from her colleagues and fellow parliamentarians to ignore the issue. MP Schroeder has derided her colleagues who wish to ignore the issue of EU money funding terrorism against Jews as "simple-minded anti-Semites." She has also accused EU External Relations Commissioner Chris Patten of "winking approval of terrorist attacks funded by the EU."

In her Ben Gurion University address, MP Schroeder claimed the issue of the EU funding terrorist groups points to a broader European goal, namely, to use the Middle East conflict to challenge US hegemony.

"The primary goal of the EU is the internationalization of the conflict in order to underline the need for its own mediating role," she argues, warning that renewed European calls for a multinational force in the region - heard most recently by the head of the largest political bloc in the parliament - combined with heightened levels of anti-Semitism in Europe and the Arab world, could spell disaster for Jews everywhere. "The Palestinians are playing the ugly role of being the cannon fodder for Europe's hidden war against the U.S.," she adds.

While MP Schroeder's call for accountability in EU funding was supported by nearly one quarter of the 626-member parliament, she appears grimly convinced that her efforts to expose anti-Zionism, which she sees as Europe's polite version of anti-Semitism, has come to naught. MP Schroeder has been embraced by many Jewish groups in Europe and the U.S. and decided to visit Israel for her first time in order to further research the E.U.’s role in the region.

"There is no difference in the consciousness of an average member of the European Parliament and an average German peace demonstrator, and I consider this to be a mixture of naivete, moralism, anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Zionism and an altogether serious danger," she said during her U.S. speaking tour. "It is against these trends that my efforts are directed."

The French (less a few Communists and Gaullists) were collaborators in 1940, and they're still collaborators today.

You are all missing the point. France is not FRANCE as we know it, or thought we knew it. France has been inundated and taken over by all sorts of "fundamentalist" activity. So has Britain, USA, Canada, and others to varying degrees. Our "war" is not upon a particular nation, but a particular culture. This is the real enemy. Darwinism will sort this out over time, the stupid always lose in the end game. As the Islamofacists play their cards around the world, they are actually expediting their extinction.

French authorities released seven men - one French, one American and several Algerians - whose names were found to be on US watch-lists.

The Vichys'seem to be in control in Paris.

Jews and Capitalists beware.

Will the Bush administration call on the socialist Chirac to denounce JIHAD?

WOW!!

I am Totally BLOWN AWAY by this information!

Should the "Premises" of this Lady's "Concepts" be TRUE, then the "EU" has been "Behind" the MASSACRE of HUNDREDS of INNOCENTS over the past few years!

IF SO--WHY is this woman still Alive??

The REAL PROBLEM IS, WHO is "Funding" the Psychopaths who feel Compelled to Kill the Innocent?

IF--as this Woman asserts--the "Funding" comes from the "EU", There can be NO Question about our "Action!"

I HOPE this Woman is Incorrect--because if she is Correct, we are AT WAR with Europe.

Considering the Fact that we sacrificed Tens of Thousands of our Youth to SAVE these People, we will NOT BE PLEASED to discover that They are attempting to Undermine our Efforts to Pacify the Middle East!!

As the "Old Saying Goes,"--"Payback is a Bitch!!"

Just the very public request from W to chirac would be enough of a message...but the response would be as interesting as telling IMO.

What to make of the recent "NO MUSLIM HEADWARE" law?
